Beijing has started the high-temperature roasting mode, followed by a series of rumors about "heat" — — Sunscreen clothes are not sunscreen after washing, heat stroke is a large heatstroke, and drinking mineral water that has been exposed to the sun in the car will cause cancer, etc., which are concentrated in the latest scientific rumor list.

　　The monthly "scientific" gossip list is guided by Beijing Science and Technology Association, Beijing Municipal Committee Network Information Office, Capital Internet Association, and jointly released by Beijing Science and Technology Journalists Editors Association and Beijing regional website joint rumor platform.

　　Rumor has it that heatstroke is heatstroke

　　truth Some people think that heatstroke is heatstroke, not serious. In fact, it is not exactly the same as heatstroke, and it should not be taken lightly. Generally, the body temperature of heatstroke patients often exceeds 38℃, accompanied by facial flushing, profuse sweating, burning skin, nausea and vomiting, or cold limbs, pale face, decreased blood pressure, rapid pulse and other symptoms.

　　Heat stroke is the most serious emergency related to high temperature, that is, "severe heatstroke", which is a serious and fatal disease with skin burning, consciousness disorder (such as delirium, convulsion, coma) and multiple organ dysfunction. Once it happens, the death rate will be high.

　　Heat stroke does not happen suddenly. Before heatstroke develops into heat stroke, it will first experience "threatened heat stroke" and "mild heat stroke". To prevent heat stroke, we must first avoid heat stroke. Try to avoid staying in high temperature (high humidity) and unventilated environment, and avoid high temperature when traveling and do a good job of sun protection. In addition, some heatstroke prevention drugs can be prepared appropriately. When you have to do homework or activities outdoors, you should pay attention to your physical condition, drink plenty of water and rest in time. If you travel by car, don’t leave children and pets in the car. Pay attention to avoid dehydration and ensure adequate sleep.

　　Rumor has it that the sunscreen will be invalid once it is cleaned.

　　truth Is it true that sunscreen clothes can’t be washed with water? Excessive cleaning of sunscreen clothing will indeed lead to a decline in the anti-ultraviolet performance of clothing, but normal cleaning is no problem. Sunscreen clothing can enhance the anti-ultraviolet effect of clothes by adding ultraviolet absorbent and anti-ultraviolet agent to the cloth or adding sunscreen coating on the surface of the fabric, just like coating a lot of sunscreen on the surface of clothes.

　　Professional sun protection clothes usually indicate the sun protection index on the tag, which is the result of the standard inspection of national professional institutions. Only when UPF is greater than 40 and T (UVA) is less than 5%, can they be called "anti-UV products" and "sun protection clothes".

　　Under normal circumstances, the sunscreen effect will not be significantly reduced when the cleaning times of sunscreen clothing are less than 30 times. After more than 30 times, it depends on the water resistance of anti-ultraviolet agents and the processing level of sunscreen clothing. There are two main processes for adding ultraviolet shielding agent to clothes: one is to add it to spinning raw materials, and the other is to soak or coat the fabric. Generally speaking, the ultraviolet shielding agent added during spinning can be better combined with raw materials, and the ultraviolet resistance is still considerable after repeated washing; However, the ultraviolet shielding agent attached to the fabric after weaving is easier to be peeled off when washing.

　　The service life of sun protection clothing is usually several months to one year, and the sun protection ingredients may be damaged to varying degrees, and the sun protection effect is definitely worse than when it was just bought. Replacing a new sunscreen suit every year can ensure a good sunscreen effect.

　　Gossip exposed mineral water can cause cancer.

　　truth Qualified mineral water bottles in the market are usually made of food-grade plastics, namely polyethylene terephthalate (PET). PET is not only acid-resistant, alkali-resistant and grease-resistant, but also can withstand the corrosion of most solvents. At the temperature below 120℃, PET is non-toxic and tasteless, and it is safe to pack drinks. However, at high temperature, it will slowly dissolve and release some organic solvents harmful to human health.

　　The temperature in the car, even in summer, is generally difficult to reach 120℃, so there is no scientific basis for the statement that "mineral water exposed in the car can cause cancer".

　　Gossip astronauts can’t be nearsighted

　　truth People have been circulating this statement — — Astronauts can’t be nearsighted, let alone wear glasses, because wearing glasses in space may bring accidental injuries. Indeed, the selection criteria for astronauts are indeed very high. However, at present, low myopia is also allowed to enter space.

　　In the ascending phase of the mission, there are complicated situations such as rocket vibration and overload. If astronauts wear frame glasses, it may lead to collision and other problems, so astronauts will not wear frame glasses (wearable contact lenses) at this stage. The environment of the space station is relatively stable, and you can wear frame glasses normally.

　　Over the years, aerospace engineering technology has made great progress, and the mission environment is no longer strict with astronauts’ physical fitness requirements; On the other hand, in the future, we need more front-line researchers to "go to heaven" for scientific research. Obviously, it is not appropriate to use myopia as a hard standard to select researchers, so low myopia is now allowed to enter space. It is worth mentioning that people with high myopia are still unable to travel in space. After all, people with high myopia may fall off their retinas when riding a roller coaster, and it is even more impossible to bear the huge acceleration when the rocket is launched.

　　Yang Liwei, deputy chief designer of China’s manned spaceflight project, once said that the selection criteria for astronauts are different with different tasks. "From the perspective of vision, high myopia is not good, and low myopia is ok. Several of our non-professional load expert astronauts wear glasses. "

　　Gossip moles should be removed or they will become cancerous.

　　truth Does the mole on our body really have a chance to develop into melanoma, a deadly malignant tumor, if it is not removed? In fact, nevus is a benign tumor of the skin. Most nevus are formed in response to sun exposure, and it is extremely unlikely that they will develop into melanoma.

　　It is also possible to remove these moles for aesthetic reasons, or to observe them regularly (monthly) for life, and pay attention to their color changes and texture changes (such as increased thickness). Some moles may develop into melanoma more easily and need to be paid attention to, including: congenital giant moles, dysplasia moles, multiple moles (more than 50), moles at the ends of limbs, moles or pigmentation in digestive tract and genitourinary tract, moles exposed to sunlight for a long time, etc. If the mole is suspected to be bad, it must be completely removed under the guidance of an experienced doctor and sent to biopsy for pathological diagnosis.

　　Myth "conjoined" cherries blame pesticides

　　truth In life, cherries we buy sometimes appear "twins" phenomenon, that is, there are two fruits on a fruit stalk. But this has nothing to do with medication. The incidence of abnormal fruit of cherries is closely related to the high temperature weather last year, not caused by pesticides.

　　From the botanical point of view, the abnormal fruit is caused by the appearance of multiple pistils during the flower bud differentiation of cherries. Studies have shown that if cherries encounter high temperature above 30℃ during flower bud differentiation (especially during sepals and petals differentiation), the incidence of deformed fruits will greatly increase in the second year without human intervention, and the proportion of conjoined double fruits will be higher with the increase of temperature. However, during this period (mid-July), the temperature in warm areas in China often exceeds 30℃, which easily leads to the formation of double pistils or even multiple pistils.

　　Gossip dry eye drops work

　　truth It is circulated on the Internet that "dry eye is ‘ Lack of water in eyes ’ As long as more drops of eye drops can be effectively relieved. This kind of practice is wrong, and it is likely to be counterproductive.

　　Dry eye, also known as dry eye, refers to a series of diseases caused by various factors, such as abnormal quality and quantity of tears or abnormal dynamics, which leads to the decline of tear film stability, accompanied by eye discomfort or ocular surface tissue lesions.

　　On the surface of our eyeball, there is a thin layer of liquid, that is, the "tear film". It consists of oil layer, tear layer and mucin layer. Although it is only a few microns thick, it is like the "lubricating oil" of eyes, which can keep the cornea and conjunctiva moist and improve the refractive performance of eyes.

　　When dry eye is not too serious, patients just need to take a rest and drop some artificial tears, and it seems that they can see things clearly again, so it is easy to take it lightly. In fact, dry eye is a manifestation of the disorder of tear film secretion, not just "water shortage". Although it sounds strange, a considerable number of patients are easy to stimulate the lacrimal gland and produce a lot of tears because the balance of the tear film is destroyed. However, the extra tears that flow out cannot effectively exist on the surface of the eye to moisten the cornea in the form of tear film.

　　External means can only help it gradually recover its physiological function, so we must pay attention to it at an early stage, get rid of bad habits in time, and don’t use eye drops indiscriminately to avoid getting worse. If there are symptoms of dry eyes, such as dry eyes, dry eyes and difficulty in opening eyes, please go to the ophthalmology department of a regular hospital immediately to determine the type of dry eyes and treat them symptomatically.

　　Rumor has it that the green peel is not ripe litchi.

　　truth This is a misunderstanding of fresh litchi. Litchi with green skin in the market is not picked before it is ripe. There are more than 300 kinds of lychees, many of which are not full of bright red. For example, the characteristic of "princess smile" is that the skin is green and red.

　　The characteristic of hanging green litchi is that the peel is red and purple, and there is a green line running straight through it, so it is named "hanging green". Good quality "Guanyin Green" litchi, even the peel is green when it is mature. It is best for consumers to determine whether the peel color is normal according to the variety of litchi. The fresh litchi peel is cracked, flat and regular, and feels tight and elastic; There are also some lychees with blue color, which may belong to insufficient light or undercooked, so it is best not to eat them.

　　Rumors are better absorbed by eating fruit before meals.

　　truth In fact, eating fruits before or after meals will not affect the digestion and absorption of both nutrients.

　　The main component of fruit is water, followed by a small amount of carbohydrates, protein, fat and a small amount of water-soluble vitamins and minerals. There is no direct correlation between the digestion and absorption of these nutrients and eating dinner. Therefore, you can choose the order of eating fruits according to your personal situation and habits. It should be noted that you should not be greedy or eat more than one kind of food in your diet, let alone overeat.

CCTV News:Following Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, cherries imported from a vegetable wholesale market in Shijiazhuang have also tested positive for nucleic acid recently. Shijiazhuang Municipal Market Supervision Administration issued the "Emergency Notice on Suspending Imported Fruits in the City". From January 24th, the food production and business operation units in Shijiazhuang suspended the purchase of imported fruits. The county market supervision and management bureaus carry out comprehensive investigations on the enterprises that store, process, produce and sell imported fruits within their respective jurisdictions, and all the imported fruits sold on shelves in the whole city shall be sealed off the shelves, and all the imported fruits in existing stocks shall be sealed on the spot.

Although Shijiazhuang officially announced on January 25th that after re-inspection of relevant products and personnel, the test results were all negative, and no COVID-19 virus was found. As soon as the news that many imported cherries were positive came out, many consumers were worried that imported cherries could still be eaten with confidence. What does it mean that its nucleic acid test is positive?

Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiologist of China CDC, said that nucleic acid positivity is not the same as infectivity: on the one hand, the temperature of preserved fruits is higher than that of frozen fish and other foods, and the virus has a short survival time at the temperature of preserved fruits; On the other hand, the nucleic acid test is positive, which may be a live virus or a dead virus or virus fragment, and it is not necessarily contagious. Wu Zunyou reminded that as long as you pay attention to hand hygiene and wash with running water before eating fruit, there should be no risk of infection.

Feng Zijian, deputy director of the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, also said that positive detection does not mean infection with the virus. "It depends on the amount of pollution, and whether the polluted virus is active." Take Wuxi as an example. The imported cherries in Wuxi are positive for nucleic acid, and the virus load is very low, which will not cause too much infection risk to consumers. Feng Zijian said that people engaged in food processing or handling were infected before because they had been exposed to the virus for a long time and many times. For consumers, imported fruits generally do not cause infection, and they can be safely eaten after cleaning.

But I didn’t know running was romantic until I ran for a few hundred meters. I was short of breath, my heart was pounding, and I kept running for a while. I immediately realized the meaning of filling my legs with lead. It was really filling my legs with lead. I didn’t have the strength to take a step forward. I really couldn’t hold on. I stopped and gasped. Look at my mobile phone. It was only six or seven hundred meters, and it was still far from 1 kilometer. At this moment, I suddenly thought about those marathon runners. How did they run down? I really can’t figure it out. I feel tired when I think about it. . .

Practice has proved that waking up your running genes has little to do with the distance you run each time, but with the total amount you run. If you can only run 500 meters at a time, it’s not a problem, as long as you can run the total amount, you can achieve your goal.

The first goal is to run 100 kilometers. If a rookie who can only run 500 meters at a time wants to achieve this goal, he must do one thing, that is, insist. He is not afraid of running less, but he is afraid of not insisting. Theoretically, he can run 100 kilometers in 200 days, but in practice, as long as he insists, he will certainly not use 200 days, because your running genes have begun to wake up. By the time you reach 100 kilometers, the distance you run at a time will definitely exceed.

The second goal is to run 200 kilometers. Why is the goal improved? It is because your single running distance has been greatly improved. The time you spend running 200 kilometers now must be less than the time you spent running the first 100 kilometers. The core of achieving the second goal is still to stick to it. As long as you stick to 200 kilometers, you will soon finish running. When you finish running, you will find that you have stopped talking about 5 kilometers at a time.

After running down 300 kilometers, some people’s running genes are almost completely awakened, and they can even run half a horse or more. Others’ running genes are only partially awakened, but their progress will surprise them, because they didn’t believe they could run 5 kilometers before.

Real runners have accumulated a huge amount of exercise, and with the increase of the total amount, runners will continue to enter a new realm, which will only make runners more convinced.Everyone has a running gene.

In the concept of dating, Shanghai girl Zhou Jie is indeed a bit "crazy". Under the traditional mindset of marriage equality and matching, Zhou Jie’s road to marriage seems to be getting narrower and narrower. With the increasing age and persistence in the inherent concept of mate selection, Zhou Jie has been "single". Looking at Zhou Jie, who is too high to be low, the girlfriends who are in a hurry have "pulled" her to his interest! Girlfriends think that so many people have successfully found the right partner in their own interests. How can Zhou Jie not?

To tell the truth, although Zhou Jie has always had some difficulties in making friends in marriage and love, and her personality and feelings have always been somewhat cold, she has a well-off family and a rich life working as a dance teacher, which can be called "high quality" in all aspects. No matter in his family in the same city or in his live broadcast room, Zhou Jie’s interaction with her friends will always show her high artistic talent and always attract the attention of many opposite sex. There are more and more opposite sex who take the initiative to chat up Zhou Jie in his interest, but Zhou Jie doesn’t seem to "call" them.

Including Zhou Jie herself and her girlfriends, no one expected the opportunity of true love to come. One day, a young man from Yunnan named Yang Hui finally let Zhou Jie "fall" in love. The two people were introduced to each other automatically by the system through his interesting voice speed matching function. Zhou Jie likes Yang Huifu’s magnetic voice, which is gentle and special. In the following interactive communication, Zhou Jie learned that Yang Hui came from a small town in Yunnan and worked hard in Shanghai alone for many years. She was particularly smart and motivated. Although family background, education and appearance are not as good as Zhou Jie’s, many of Yang Hui’s ideas and attitudes towards some things are surprisingly consistent. Their sense of tacit understanding and mutual understanding make them deeply attracted to each other at the same time.

Every day, there are endless topics to talk about in his interest, and there will be endless happiness when he is with him. Zhou Jie is more and more aware that marriage equality, door-to-door matching and so on are not the whole of true love. Love doesn’t have to be born in the same background, but based on the spiritual harmony and mutual understanding. In this relationship, Zhou Jie and Yang Hui changed each other and grew together. Two people choose each other, Zhou Jie has changed the traditional concept of marriage and love, and the small town guy has also achieved the counterattack of marrying a Shanghai girl.

As a dating service platform that has been committed to building efficient ice-breaking, high-frequency interaction and multi-interest links for single young people, the real high rate of single-off-order of Taqu APP is an accurate cut-in to the actual single-off demand of single groups, and on the other hand, technology empowers single groups to intelligently match the needs of the other half, which greatly reduces the time cost and energy input cost of single young people in finding the right other half, and it is easy to find the right other half in Taqu APP.

　　According to Xinhua News Agency, CCTV News and other media reports, Copernicus Climate Change Service, the European Union’s climate monitoring agency, said on the 5th that September this year was the hottest September on record, and the global average surface temperature was 16.38 degrees Celsius, 0.93 degrees Celsius higher than the average in the same period from 1991 to 2020, and 0.5 degrees Celsius higher than the previous hottest September, that is, September 2020. 2023 may become the hottest year on record.

　　On July 13, 2022, in the glass pyramid square of the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, a woman put iced mineral water on her face to relieve the heat (Source: Xinhua News Agency)

　　The high temperature weather is spread all over the world mainly because the ocean temperature has been abnormally high and continuous since spring.

　　According to Copernicus Climate Change Service, September 2023 is the "most abnormal warm month" since 1940. The global average temperature in this month is 1.75 degrees Celsius higher than that in September from 1850 to 1900 (before industrialization). The earliest data collected by ERA5, a meteorological database in european centre for medium-range weather forecasts, was recorded in 1940.

　　The Associated Press quoted Carlo Buontempo, director of Copernicus Climate Change Service Bureau, as saying that the temperature in September this year was "amazing" and "there has never been a month like this in our records".

　　According to the report "Global Climate Status" released by the World Meteorological Organization, 2016 is the hottest year on record. Copernicus Climate Change Service predicts that this record will be broken this year.

　　The global average temperature from January to September this year was 1.4 degrees Celsius higher than that from 1850 to 1900, 0.52 degrees Celsius higher than that from 1991 to 2020, and 0.05 degrees Celsius higher than that in 2016.

　　Buontempo said that this year’s hot weather has spread all over the world, mainly because the ocean temperature has been abnormally high since spring and has not dropped to the usual level in September. He believes that the El Ni? o phenomenon has played a certain role in the high global temperature this year, but the greater impact is the overall warming trend.

　　Copernicus Climate Change Service said that in September this year, the average sea surface temperature from 60 degrees north latitude to 60 degrees south latitude reached 20.92 degrees Celsius, the highest in the same period on record, second only to the highest record set in August this year.

　　According to the Paris Agreement reached in 2015, all parties will strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change, control the global average temperature increase within 2 degrees Celsius compared with the pre-industrial level, and make efforts to control the temperature increase within 1.5 degrees Celsius.

　　There are frequent island fires, and the summer temperatures in many islands are above average.

　　At the beginning of September this year, the website of Spain’s Confidential newspaper mentioned in the report that one month after the summer solstice, the Greek islands of Crete, Corfu and Evia caught fire on all sides. The fire destroyed more than 14,000 hectares of land and killed more than 20 people. A few days later, another island caught fire, and this time it was Sicily’s turn. At the same time, on the other side of the globe, Maui Island (located in the Hawaiian Islands) was also burned into ruins. The fire killed 115 people, and with the rescue work, the death toll will rise. Just when Spain thought there would be no more fires this summer, another fire broke out on Tenerife Island, which turned into the worst fire this summer. All fires have one thing in common: they originated from the island. This is unusual. So what are the causes of all these fires?

　　On September 7, in Washington, DC, a man drank water to resist the hot weather. (Source: Xinhua News Agency)

　　Summer temperatures in Tenerife, Hawaii, Sicily and Crete are all above average. However, this is not the only reason for these fires. Experts pointed out that in recent years, fires occurred in dry conditions and also in bad weather conditions.

　　Although all these fires seem to be more like a coincidence, scientific observation stations have not observed any coincidence or fixed pattern in the course of several recent fires. Experts pointed out that many meteorological factors may lead to this situation. In the next few months or years, or there will be a study to analyze this in detail.

　　On the other hand, Hawaii, Tenerife and Sicily are all volcanic islands, so it is easier to ignite fires to some extent. They themselves have a historic fire mechanism, which depends on their volcanic activity. Another reason is that these islands are rugged, and once a fire breaks out, it is more difficult to put it out. The wind that affects the island is also much stronger than that on the mainland. In addition, in the process of reducing agricultural and forestry production, such as in Hawaii or Canary Islands, the reduction of land management means that the population is highly concentrated in coastal areas, because it is more suitable for developing tourism. However, there is a lack of management inside the island, neither agricultural management nor forestry management. Once a fire breaks out, these areas are easily affected by such disasters.

　　Experts point out that there will be many fires in the future, and all kinds of environments will be affected by them, including urban areas, which people thought would be spared more or less. Scientists’ predictions seem to be getting more and more accurate — — The summer of the earth will be shrouded in fire. And the "perfect storm" that brought all this is not accidental. All indications show that climate change is the main reason for the increasingly destructive, frequent, unpredictable and violent fires every year.
